Come Hither Cupcakes<\/a> is a new all-vegan catering company started by Andrea and Sue.\u00a0 They confess that profound cupcake envy was their inspiration to starting this new business. Sue shared their background. “We started Come Hither Cupcakes a couple of months ago while we were working at an eco-friendly start-up–Ecofabulous. Andrea was a writer and I was the managing editor. Both of us had recently lived in New York (Andrea went to college there, and I grew up and also went to college\/law school in New York). There were a number of excellent vegan cupcake companies in NY, including Babycakes. As vegans, we lamented the fact that there weren’t any really tasty vegan cupcakes made in San Fran, of all places. Andrea then brought in vegan cupcakes to work a couple of times, and that led us to decide that we wanted to bring vegan cupcakes to the Bay area. We’ve since improvised and improved on our recipes and flavors to make them entirely our own. They are all completely unique from anything else out there.”<\/p>\n

When we talked with Come Hither Cupcakes last month, they had 7 flavors, which are already being sold locally at locations in Kentfield, Mill Valley, San Anselmo, and San Francisco. Or, with a minimum order of 2-3 dozen, you can get them delivered to your Bay area doorstop with no travel fee.<\/p>\n

We were anxiously awaiting the home delivery of our vegan cupcakes. And it was worth the wait. The cupcakes were moist, delicately flavored, and absolutely scrummy (scrumptious and yummy). Each one was beautifully decorated with frosting and candies. The frosting was definitely the favorite part of the cupcake for both Chris and myself. It was just the right amount, and matched the flavor of the cake.<\/p>\n

The Minty Mojito and Lemon Drop were instant hits. The Chai was the most unusual of the ones we tried. Interestingly, with each tasting, the complexity of this flavor grew on us until it was one of our favorites. We also enjoyed the Mexican Hot Chocolate and Strawberry Daquiri. I know, that’s only five. There’s two more flavors we haven’t tried.<\/p>\n

When we asked Sue if there were other vegan dessert forms in CHC’s future, she replied “We might make mini-cupcakes or cakes in the future, but there are some excellent vegan cookie-bakers in the area, so we want to offer something different and special. Also, we LOVE cupcakes.”<\/p>\n

With a tagline of “The naughty indulgence that’s secretly good”, Come Hither Cupcakes delivers on that promise .. at 250 calories per cupcake.<\/p>\n
